The SQL on Worldship is limited to a INSERT command.
So what we did is use the Export function which can be triggered at the
end of a transaction (all pkgs) or at the end of the day. 
The export function then writes the data in append mode to a file on a
SAMBA directory on AIX.
Then every 1/2 hour a UV job reads the file, updates the orders and then
deletes the file.

Subject: [U2] U2 and UPS WorldShip


The main thing we need with United Parcel Service is to get the 1Z...
tracking number back into UniVerse.

I found that, via ODBC, WorldShip can read a packslip file from UniVerse
and import all of the packslip data but WorldShip stalls when trying to
write the data back to UniVerse via the same ODBC connection.

Thus, it appears that we have to export the UPS data to Microsoft SQL
Server and then use another ODBC (JDBC or .Net) connection to read the
1Z from SQL Server and then write the 1Z to UniVerse.

Insights or alternative approaches would be appreciated.
